Lunchbox (Rectangle Set- Three in One)

• The 3-piece set includes: upper food container, lower food container plus a small, nesting ECOlunchpod snack container.
• The ECOlunchpod snack container is uniquely rectangular, making it ideal for packing apple slices, pretzel sticks, and carrot sticks.
• The clips are kid-tested and can be adjusted to desired stiffness.
• All together when boxed up, the bento measures 4 inches wide, 5 1/2 inches long and 2 3/4 inches high and fits about 4 cups of food. The bottom section is 1 inch deep (contains about 1 1/2 cups food) and fits a small whole sandwich on sliced bread. The top layer is a bit larger at 1 1/2 inches deep (contains about 1 3/4 cups of food) and works well for bulkier food, such as chips, sliced fruit, leftover pastas or salads.
• ECOlunchboxes are not leak proof. Damp foods work well in our containers, but because the lids don't have any plastic gaskets or other added synthetics to create a seal, very wet foods may leak.
• Made in India.

It seemed like a pretty simple concept. Design a food container out of something plastic-free and make it available to friends, family and through an online store.

Since founding ECOlunchbox as a triple-bottom-line social enterprise in 2009, the business has scaled beyond my initial vision.
